Me:5'4"39-27-3930I138 lbsSo here's my take on the odd sizing of this coat. I am usually a small and I ordered a small -- a medium definitely would have been way too big. As it is, the small is too big overall because I prefer winter jackets to still be somewhat form flattering (and I don't usually wear giant, bulky sweaters.) I know some people prefer comfort above form, but that's not me -- I want both. Being petite-ish doesn't give me a lot of wiggle room to play with sizes, either. If you're taller, you can get away with that.The chest isn't the issue (I measured it at 19.5/20"" pit to pit and that's big for a size small); it's that the armholes are cut too high. Even if I'd gotten a medium, they would have felt higher than usual. Not necessarily tight, but high (think: side seam getting closer to the armpit than one might be used to or enjoy.)I would exchange for an X-Small to get the chest a little smaller (Im used to slightly squished boobs for the sake of fashion) but bottom line, the length of both the jacket and the arms aren't flattering on my 5'4" height. Four inches shorter on the jacket and 2-3" shorter on the arms would have been perfect (then it would look like the model, on me.) Maybe Orolay will start making petite sizes with all their success, then I'd try this one again because I did like the style.If you're on the taller side, I think this would work a lot better for you. And if you don't care at all about form-fitting/length, then this will work for you, too.BTW, I think the orange accents on the strings is leather -- which was a nice surprise. I was expecting vinyl or something cheap.
